ESPHome based AUX AC PCBA arrived – and failed (a bit)

October 31, 20241 min readBy STAN

First batch of 3104-00 ESPHome AUX AC PCBAs arrived!

Some basic initial testing was done:

  • supplying with 5V didn't damage the PCB
  • output of the regulator was stable at 3.3V
  • it was possible to program the ESP32 over UART and later over WiFi

Next step – testing with AC!

EDIT:

Testing with AC – passed, the device communicates with AC.

ISSUES:

  • Connector pitch wrongly selected: 2.54mm instead of 2.00mm
  • Pinout wrongly assigned – TX and RX swapped
